My Cuppa Tea || Oregon Red Reserve

This one was so much fun to make! I loved learning that teas are being grown in the states from the camellia sinensis plant! I think that’s just a testament to how hardy and durable this plant is. Let it lend you its strength during hard times! Music used: https://www.patreon.com/no_copyrightmusic/posts -- The tea: Oregon Red Reserve Teamaker: Kacie Merkel From: Salem, Oregon Harvest: Late May, 2020 Elevation: 150 Feet What Steven Smith says: This tea breaks all the rules. Grown in the lush farmlands of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Minto Island is producing teas with a character unto their own. Made using a variety of tea cultivars, Ms. Merkel has handcrafted this delightful black tea that can stand up to the best red – or black – teas China can offer.

A new video! I started this channel for fun and to share my love of gentle things. Sometimes I'll talk about writing while I brew a cup of tea, sometimes I'll show you around the tiny house I'm building, other times I'll just let you enjoy the music and some soft visuals. If you ever have any suggestions for teas I should try, let me know! I'm particularly fond of black teas, but I'm willing to try almost anything!
